Dr. (Mrs.) Taiwo Folashade Ipaye, FNIM

In 2022, 60 years after its establishment, the glass ceiling over the Management of  the University of Lagos was broken by the appointment of the first female Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Folasade Tolulope Ogunsola, FAS, OON whose agenda is to make Unilag a future ready University.

It is with joy and pride that I welcome you to the Office of Advancement, the home of Alumni Relations.  Here, we support the University in building a crop of friends of the University who associate with the academic and research work by funding projects, research, scholars and supporting less privileged students.

We hope to keep you updated on developments in the University as well as celebrate our alumni when they record milestones in life as well as professionally.

We look forward to your partnering with us in promoting the brand Unilag, the University of first choice and the Nations pride.
